My friend Jannda did this and I think that it is a fabulous idea. I will say that I might not post every Friday BUT -- Here is to my faves this week!
I love to plant flowers and do yard work
(you would NEVER know by looking at my yard though... )
I went to the IFA with my sisters and mom today so I am going to do my favorite flowers... I wish I was cool enough to import pics but it is late and I don't like electronic devices SO-
use your imagination!

1- Bleeding Hearts- I think that this comes from a friend that I had that died from a Heart Condition when we were in third grade. The only thing I remember about her funeral was all of the amazing flowers and that somehow (in a good way) they tied those flowers in to her funeral. I have loved them ever since.
2- TULIPS- i LOVE these! They are my all time favorite flower and I personally think that it is a cryin' shame that they are limited to spring. There is nothing better than a field FULL of tulips. Someday I will post a picture of me in Holland with them in the background....
3- Peony- Once again a flower with a limited growing/blooming season. I am not talking about the flowers that our Grandmother cut for the Cemetery on Memorial Day. I like those BUT I love the big double pink variety.
4- Candy striped phlox- So cute and looks great all summer long. I love the color of the petals and how they all look like they have been hand painted.
5- Hibiscus- LOVE these too. The Marriot Center (in Provo Utah of all places) has a bush that actually survives the UTAH COLD! I can't wait to plant my own.
6- Who am I kidding... I can't limit this one! Here's to my other faves! Ornamental poppies (in RED), Hydrangea, Martha Washington variety of geraniums, Ivy Geraniums, mini Daffodils, Asters, Lily of the Valley, fountain Lobelia, Gazanias, and a whole bunch more......

Oh, yay. Maybe you can help me come up with some colorful additions to my garden. For some reason, the only perennials I can keep around are all purple.
Hey you, little miss gardner! Questions for you, does the phlox have flowers through the summer? And BTW--my neighbor has beautiful Hibiscus trees. I need to find out the variety. She chops them all the way down in the fall and they shoot right back up early summer. They are absolutely stunning and refreshing.
I need help with my garden. All I can grow is a hearty petunia. I can't even keep the grass green!
Have a good day!
